Greetings.  InI come in peace.  We don't live in the U. K.  We wanna know if Blackrastas kick it with the whiteones there.  Over here there are lots of the whites sayin them Rasta.  We don't take them as real here.  For many reason.  What's it like there? See,we seen Steel P.  few year ago at a show, We ask them the same thing.  Ras David laughed and said Do you chil with them? We said no.  He say nor do we.

I am white, I can see why yuh don't see us as proper Rasta's because of the white people callin themselves Rasta when they misuse Herb and jus like reggae music. To answer your question, Yes. I think most do. Although not Europe (turkey) when I was on holiday there, I was wearing A Haile Selassie t-shirt, An another guy came along sort of looked, looked again then waved from a distance, We shook hands thas bout it. As long as many see yuh are not some hippie who shouts one love every time he see's somthing he does not like I think they Acept I for I. If yuh can look past all the white people who change history I would say anyone who belives in the Divinity of Peace, Love, and the Hold Trinity can be.
But thats yuh opinon so I will raspect it. I know in Bobo Hill whites are accepted.

Never have Iman crossed paths with an African Rasta who would not associate with I on the grounds that I am European. There are plenty of people who confuse the situation who are just into some hippy thing who wear locks and smoke herb and call themselves Rasta but don't give any thought to His Majesty or the African Roots of the Rastafari movement and I and I as European Rastas put fire on them just the same as any African Rasta.
In the UK as well I and I don't have such a segregated system as a lot of places in the US despite babylons best efforts. Africans and other minority groups are still among the poorest and still live in certain poorer areas but, for the most part it is not like in certain places in the US where they make up the vast majority of the population of those areas and White people won't walk the streets. Places like Handsworth and Brixton have a large proportion of Africans and Asians to British but there is still a noticeable British population and despite concerted media and police campaigns in the 1970s and 80s to demonize the Black youth in general and Rastafari youth in particular, I and I see more interaction between Black and White people in Britain today than Iman have seen in other places.
To bring it back to Rastas in particular though, Iman can overstand a certain level of suspicion being applied to I when I interact with African Rastas. That is to be expected given the history of the world in general and the current problem I and I face with wolves in sheep's clothing but for any Rasta, no matter the colour, to not associate and Reason with another Rasta over the colour of his skin or his background seems like folly to Iman. There certainly needs to be that interaction in this time between I and I and Iman am not talking about like this that I and I are doing now through the internet.

Blessed love.

Bobo~so, the I speak for all US?.  Pretty small circle the I have then.  Come to think of it, it is a small world when ones hold themSelves above others.  It is a limited mentality that group everyone in one bunch.  LiveUp.

It's a small world indeed for the multi-national corporations. The small elite sticking together to oppress the masses. The work surely becomes easier if the masses is divided into groups. It takes a big heart and mind to love your neighbor as yourself.

Words of His Majesty, Haile Selassie I, Jah RastafarI:
"He who would efface the sacred work of Almighty God, he who would abuse the mysteries of creation and discriminate between man and man, whom God created equal, on the basis of colour, race or creed calls down upon himself disaster and ruin. Let no one forget that Africans differ from no other people in the world: we love those that love us, dislike those by whom we are disliked, and we are jealous guardians of our freedom."

Plenty of Europeans dislike Africans and babylon still fights Africa down but by definition, Rastafari people, no matter the colour, love Africa and Africans just as I and I love all creation.

Let there be no division between I and I in this time.

Blessed love.
